Chicago Housing Projects

[@mIKE.TURNup]

[@Milathegoatnyc]

I think 7 they all gone except one they keeping up to use as a museum for public housing they were good in the 50’ but after the 60s violence/drugs and crime took over 😔

[@kelvendyson1508]

Man, looking at these bring back some good and some painful memories!! State Way Gardens Harold Ickes Robert Taylor Homes ABLA Jane Addams R.I.P!!

[@patricialutz2092]

I well remember driving along the Dan Ryan seeing places like Stateway Gardens and Robert Taylor homes when visiting relatives in Chicago. I was always impressed with how many public housing units there were in Chicago, but am wondering if the city's plan to reintegrate worked out for all? Common Sense would tell me,no, it did not. So there's another epic fail on behalf of CHA. RIP to those who lost their lives to violence, like my cousin Jamaal Robinson did in '95.🙏🏾✌🏾

These projects looked like prisons, making the innocent feel like - just that. In fact, gangsters basically held the complex hostage. In other words, many of the innocent were trapped. Most residents could not wander through the projects without being victimized, or at least without witnessing a violent crime. As a result, these high-rises have been demolished.

Housing Projects Exposed From poorhouse to low income housing= charging money to live in a shelter. The Housing Authority (Projects) for years conned, cheated and flat out hustled, pimped and bullied People out of their money for living in the buildings they manage. Fact (1) They're not a city or government agency. (2) Its purpose is to Manage and Maintain orphanages and shelters for the Poor people (Preservation). In the past, those building were known as Almshouses and Poorhouses, today they repackaged, relabeled and advertise these buildings under the new name “Low Income/ Public Housing”. Because many People don’t know the history of the Public Housing system, they think it’s a government agency which provides affordable “homes”, apartments to people, but that too is a lie. Today they makes millions by housing People in their orphanages and almshouses. Definitions Source: Merriam Webster Dictionary 1828 Online. Almshouse : a building in which poor people was allowed to live for free. (2) British: a privately financed home for the poor. Poorhouse : a place for poor people to live that is paid for by the taxes, donations, etc., of other people. (2) A place maintained at public expense to house needy or dependent persons Housing : shelter, lodging or dwellings provided for people Preservation: to keep (something) in its original state or in good condition This is why the apartments are poorly maintained by management. It’s time to inform yourself, your friends, families, and loved ones to help expose this corruption. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Martin Luther King Jr. If you like this comment please share with 10 other People.

I MISS AND LOVED MY PROJECTS.and we still go to our neighbor park and all is there is love......

[@tamiasthechipmunk]

I'm glade to see Chicago take these projects down. They were a complete failure that made the hardships of those in need of help even worse.

[@Purplecolors88]

It look like a concentrate camp!

[@TrentB924]

Sad, but a really nice video. I pity the people who think Chicago is not or was not high in crime. They try to glorify Atlanta's crime and New York's crime and other cities, too. Those buildings in the video, especially Cabrini Green and Robert Taylor, were the worst in the nation. They would probably shit bricks if they seen high rises like that in person.

[@Paaka]

That project building in the thumbnail looskibeingreal had a crazy story about said gang members were shooting out the sewer

[@savagebrothers8693]

I walked to a project in Chicago back in year 98 with cousin and brother,they were 2 tall buildings I enter once and it smell bad the apartment I entered was really bad too,they are gone now it was on 16 and Ashland I think or blue island street

[@QueensBey]

Some of the projects look like the ones we got in NY. Interesting. I don't know too much about the Chi's history. I heard they tore down a lot of these PJ's. Is that true?

[@tdiamonds23ice82]

Yes

[@Weasd]

@matth1002 What made you want to make this video? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@PrinceDQ26]

QUICK QUESTIONS How many housing PJs did Chicago have in all b4 the 90s when they started tearing them down???????????????????????? And how many are left???????????????????

[@Milathegoatnyc]

I think 7 they all gone except one they keeping up to use as a museum for public housing they were good in the 50’ but after the 60s violence/drugs and crime took over 😔

[@houseofjrk]

eventhough the Jets was fucked up they was a serious landmark in the Chi you knew you was in the Chi when you seen the Jets

[@newjerseytimes9123]

Look like ny

[@TrentB924]

I agree with some of this... whites and hispanics have both lived in and still do live in projects, also. Sometimes it is really hard for people to get out even when they do right..

[@ChicaGOrilla4CHN]

In some ways, Chicago was more racist than Mississippi. Mechanization made the hard lot of share croppers even harder. When African Americans migrated North after WWII, urban racism was there to greet them. And just as mechanized agriculture required fewer and fewer farmers in the South, automation and deindustrialization required fewer and fewer workers in the North. The working class whites were fighting each other for industrial jobs when the displaced blacks showed up. I'm tired of this canard that blacks are lazy and want to be on welfare. Nobody has a better work ethic than the African-American. But there has to actually be work and a place in the greater society. If not, you get "ghettos" such as Robert Taylor, and pathological despair leading to crime and violence.
